Hey, remember WAAAAAAAYY back when, when Trump allies were thumbing their noses at subpoenas, and I said you needed to get the sergeant at arms to go and take physical control of them, reassert your commitment to ensuring the rule of law yourself, instead of just waiting for someone else to do it?

Well, you abdicated your desire to take part in the physical space, and thought talking would be enough. It isn't! I hope you can recover it. Asking permission is not going to work.
